"Wow! [Taylor's Master Guide to Landscaping] is at once the most thorough yet accessible book on a complex and convoluted subject.
Leave it to Rita Buchanan, a singularly direct, clear-headed, experienced, and intelligent writer and gardener, to put together the definitive guide to creating and caring for a home landscape."
 Lauren Springer, author of The Undaunted Garden

"If a reference book filled with the names of thousands of plants you’ve never heard of is more information than you really need, Taylor’s Guide to Growing North America’s Favorite Plants, by Barbara W. Ellis, can simplify matters.
This reference book answers any burning questions you may have about peonies, hydrangeas, and the other most popular ornamental plants: where to find the plants, how to fertilize, when to cut back flowers, the best time to plant, and other detailed answers and advice."
 Woman’s Day

More Praise for Taylor's Guide to Growing North America's Favorite Plants

"There’s an enormous amount of information here. Each plant and variety is described in detail along with its landscape uses, growing requirements, and care throughout the year. Special chapters cover soil preparations, propagation, and pest control. Anything you’re likely to grow in your garden is here."  Newark Star-Ledger

"This is a must for the new or less experienced gardener and a great reference book for the experienced gardener who has questions also.
Unlike many gardening how-to books, this one truly will 'guide' the gardener from the time the plant is put into the ground to caring for it through the summer, how to divide it in the fall, what pests or bugs it is vulnerable to, and how to protect it from the winter cold."  Buffalo News
